Welcome

The manual of style is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.

The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital P and an accented é. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.

The word Poké Ball is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial B (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.

The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.

If you happen to spot a vandal in the recent changes that has not been dealt with, please see this page for how to deal with it.

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!PokeManiac102 22:49, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not too good at explaining things, but I hope this helps a bit XD;; Be sure, though, to remove the {{{ }}} parts when making the tags. I just put them there to make it stand out. Tinaδ♫ 23:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Signature Policy

Heya, if you hadn't already heard, we've got a new Signature Policy up and running now... I'm just working through all the users I can find now, and letting people know what they need to fix (if anything) about their signatures. Here's the new rules:

All signatures will be text-only and not exceed 80 characters on-screen when rendered.

No line breaks.

The font size of the signature will be no larger than the font size of normal text.

No signature templates.

A link to the user page, at minimum, and a link to the user talk page is recommended.

Two things you'll need to fix about your signature; for one, the images (images aren't text, which is what the first rule's for). Two, your signature's a template at the moment; just copy and paste your signature's coding into the Nickname field on your Preferences, and you're all set. The other rules don't apply to your signature as it is, so no worries... just do me a favor and get your signature fixed up next chance you get. --Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> 09:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

DOUBLE ULTRA HACK!!!!!!!

Yes, D.U.H.(I know it looks like what your thinking!) Double Ultra Hack is here by what I like to call a hack where you can get lengendary Pokemon at level 1 and you can find it in wild grasses ALLL the time.

Line Break

the new sig policy says its against the rules to use a line break in your sig, and while you technically arent doing that, you make it seem as though you are. so in short, dont make a line break just for your sig. just add it at the end of a statement. if you are worried about your sig getting melded in with your text (like DCM's does) just do what i do and put one or two "-" before your sig in your prefrences. -- MAGNEDETH 00:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

i just noticed you are still using a sig template, and thats not allowed. oh no! -- MAGNEDETH 01:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

STOP EDITING!

My friends from Neopets

Pikajobu- First and only!

Let's try to fix the sig

Go to my preferences which is in the top right hand corner of the screen. Then, at Nickname, DELETE EVERYTHING IN THE BOX. Then, make sure the little box below it has a checkmark in it. Then when it does, type
